D&D: World of Warcraft subclasses

Six New Subclasses and Thirteen Class Skins

Play your favorite World of Warcraft® class at the table.  Using the Player's Handbook as a foundation, D&D: World of Warcraft® provides rules for playing all 13 World of Warcraft classes, with alterations, new options, and guidance on bringing each class and its specializations to life in D&D.  

The book adds 6 new subclasses: the Oath of the Ebon Blade and Oath of the Holy Paladin, the Demon Hunter Ranger, the Shadow Domain and Discipline Domain Cleric, and the Path of the Elements Barbarian.

Rounding out the roster are 3 updated subclasses (Swashbuckler Rogue, Path of the Spiritual Guardian Barbarian, and Warrior of Mystic Brews Monk).

D&D: World of Warcraft species

Sixteen Species Straight From Azeroth

In addition to new WoW-mapping rules for 5 existing species, D&D: World of Warcraft® adds 11 new species.  Build a character that feels unmistakably World of Warcraft® with the new Dracthyr, Draenei, Earthen, Forsaken, Haranir, Mechagnome, Pandaren, Tauren, Troll, Vulpera, and Worgen species.

Some are native to Azeroth, and others hail from far-flung worlds, but nearly all have thrown in with the Horde or the Alliance. Your choice of species can even grant a starting Renown Score with one of Azeroth's factions, so your allegiance is baked into your origin.

And questing is only half the story: pick up professions, a brand-new mechanic to D&D, to customize your hero between quests, turning downtime into a space to craft gear, tinker on trinkets, and prep upgrades.
